[Chapter 11: The Sand That Seems to Be Real and Illusory]

After several changes, the wedding of the seven sons of Taofu was finally held as scheduled. Whether Shu Yu is out of concern for Tao Mansion, or because of the fact that this marriage has changed a lot and the comedy is too strong, this can be regarded as a big event in Lanzhou City at the beginning of the seventeenth year of the Republic of China. On the eve of the wedding, there were many people in the Tao Mansion who stayed up all night, and until dawn, it was as if a hot pot was always adding firewood, and finally waited for the moment of boiling.

Tao Xiang didn't rest well last night, so he woke up early and woke up with a little movement.

It was still early, and Langyuan was already busy. Seeing that he got up, the crowd seemed to have no scruples, and it was time to speak out and act, as if they had left him, the main master, aside.

Tao Xiang walked around the living room for a while, looking at the colorful shed set up in the courtyard. All the way from the gate of the courtyard to the front of the eyes, the flowers are happy or placed or hung, dense, making people dizzy.

He looked at it for a while, and was reminded by Zhang's mother that he should go to his parents in front of him for breakfast, so he drank a bowl of ginseng soup and went out.

All the way out, seeing that the entrance of Tan Yuan, the residence of the eldest brother, was surrounded by palace lanterns, colorful lanterns and flowers, I felt that this was really a bit extravagant.

When he arrived in front of his parents, although he usually didn't use it, today he respectfully invited his parents to sit down and kowtowed three times.

Tao Shengchuan and his wife, who had not yet changed their dresses, received this extra gift. Tao Shengchuan fell, and Mrs. Tao Hu wiped away her tears.

The Tao Si couple on the side were a little moved.

Tao Xiang rarely laughed with his parents and sister-in-law, and finally made his mother smile again.

The family's breakfast was constantly interrupted, either because they had something to do or because the guests arrived early...... It was as if he could not be at peace for a moment. After breakfast for a while, Tao Shengchuan and his wife were busy changing their dresses. Tao Xiang saw that he couldn't intervene here, so it was better to go back early and wait for his errand, so he quit early. Unexpectedly, as soon as he left the courtyard gate of his parents' residence, he met a group of people who came to find him - today's two male bridesmaids Lu Qi and Bai Wenmo were the leaders, this group of more than a dozen people, except for Bai Wenmo who came from afar, were all his playmates since childhood - Tao Xiang smiled and beckoned them to go back to Langyuan together.

Tao Si, who came out after him, saw it and shouted with a smile: "Wen Mo, Lu Qi, don't spare this kid today." Thinking that you will get married in the future, this kid's belly full of bad water can't cover it...... Your second brother Duan said it, let him count his share! As he spoke, Yamei, who was walking behind him, dragged him.

Yamei smiled: "If you don't say that, they won't spare the seventh child today, and add fuel to the fire?" ”

Bai Wenmo and Lu Qi are not trouble-free, and they have already been shouting.

Lu Qi pointed at Tao Xiang and said, "Second brother, don't worry, please be good tonight!" ”

Tao Xiang glanced at him as he walked, Lu Qi was looked at by him, touched his chest, and said, "Wen Mo, it's too bad, Seventh Brother is glaring, what should I do?" ”

Bai Wenmo was walking beside Tao Xiang. Although his surname is white, he is black, compared with Tao Xiang, it is even darker, at this time, his eyes rolled, and the whites of his eyes were more than pupils, as if he was thinking very seriously, and said slowly: "This is easy to do, the seventh brother glared at us, let's go back to the cave room and stare at the seventh sister-in-law together...... See who's in a hurry first. Let's see who can't hold back first. How's it going, Brother Seven? ”

Although he speaks the official language well, he still has a southern accent, and he speaks slowly, which makes it sound particularly interesting.

Tao Xiang knew that it was in their hands today, and he couldn't escape no matter what, so he simply let them say that he couldn't make a sound.

Lu Qi and the others laughed and echoed, and hugged Tao Xiang to Langyuan. There was a lot of laughter along the way, and when they entered the door, Tao Xiang went up to change his dress, and they gathered downstairs to laugh.

Tao Xiang was resting in the study downstairs last night, and when he returned to the new room, he saw that everything was cleaned up, and even the bed tent was replaced with a new one, as if it had been sealed...... In a flash of his gaze in the room, everything seemed to move, and a wave of the fiery sea was about to overwhelm the waves. He had to settle down.

Tu Huyi came over to help him change his dress. Usually I am used to serving, but today I am a little lawless. Tao Xiang was patient, but Tu Huyi was embarrassed and said: "Mr. Ha didn't say that if you want to give you a long follower, you just shirk it." After this day......"

Tao Xiang asked him to step aside, clasped the embarrassing button under his chin in the mirror, and said, "What's the need for two more people to follow?" ”

He took the top hat handed by Tu Huyi, and there were two red velvet tassels inserted in the hat, which looked like a singing costume. He thought about it, but today he is one corner, and together with the other corner, he will perform this play well...... He thought that the champion was just like that. Today's wedding is much more traditional than the combination of Chinese and Western in Beiping. Wait a minute, he will go to the ancestral hall to worship his ancestors first. After worshipping the ancestors, you can go to pick up your relatives...... He has been abroad for a long time, and he has long been unaccustomed to the life of stretching out his hands and eating at home since he was a child, and of course he does not have to recover. Even if you get married, you have an extra pair of hands by your side, not a pair of hands.

What's more, he thought that Cheng Jingyi was also a person who loved to be quiet.

He put on his top hat and turned over to let Tu Huyi take a look.

Tu Huyi tied the big red flower for him, took two steps back and took a look-Tao Xiang's black robe and horse coat, leather shoes and hat, red flower hanging, and his tall figure became more and more heroic as soon as he wore it, but his face was serious, and it didn't match - "Seven Shao, like this." Tu Huyi pointed at the corner of his mouth.

Tao Xiang glared at him.

He reluctantly stretched out his hands, gave his thumb up, and said, "It couldn't be better." ”

Tao Xiang seemed to be eager for his words, and immediately opened the door and went downstairs.

When I walked down the stairs, I saw Bai Wenmo, who was in a suit and leather shoes, with his back to the upstairs, leaning on the railing and smoking, smiling at Lu Qi and the others who were sitting not far away.

Hearing his footsteps going downstairs, Bai Wenmo glanced back at him, whistled softly, and said, "Seventh brother, you look like a person." ”

Tao Xiang walked to him and stood down, looking at Lu Qi who was wearing the same black suit as Wen Mo, Lu Qi and Bai Wen Mo were handsome young men of the same age, and their temperaments were simply two extremes, Lu Qi was lively like a mountain waterfall, and Wen Mo was calm like a mountain stream and still water.

"You're not in a hurry to go back to the south, are you?" Tao Xiang asked Wen Mo.

"Look at what the old man means." Bai Wenmo smiled. He accompanied his father, Bai Xilu, to observe the ceremony. "It depends on when he and Uncle Tao drink the wine steadily."

Tao Xiang smiled and asked, "What about your marriage, I heard that it is being discussed." He looked at Moon. There are still rumors in the market that they are pursuing Suo Yan Linyun, the parties don't marry, don't marry, and marry another, the weddings are all sensational, and Bai Wenmo's ownership is still eye-catching.

"Seventh brother, you can't squeeze me like this, where can everyone have your blessing, the one who is married, and the one who is married, and the one who is a peerless beauty, and a father-in-law who cares about the world, and who happens to have a brother-in-law who strives for the top?" Bai Wenmo laughed in a low voice. A glimmer of light flew out of the corner of his eye, and a smile soaked into his deep sideburns.

Tao Xiao listened, was silent for a moment, reached out and broke Wen Mo's shoulder, threw Wen Mo to the side of the carpet with an empty hand, walked over, looked at Wen Mo who was thrown to the ground and praised him with a smile, and said, "Let your kid talk nonsense." ”

Bai Wenmo laughed.

The laughter attracted Lu Qi and others, who surrounded them one after another and asked, "Why haven't you made trouble with the groom official, but the groom official has knocked down the bridegroom first?" ”

Bai Wenmo put his hand on the ground, and was just about to get up, but he didn't know who reached out and pushed again, and he pulled Tao Xiang. But Tao Xiang didn't watch out, and fell to the ground immediately after. As a result, a group of people made a mess one after another, and a dozen or so people made a mess...... Tu Huyi and Ma Xingjian wanted to get rid of these young masters and rescue their masters, but they couldn't find Tao Xiang at all. The two of them couldn't help laughing, even the busy messengers outside were alarmed, and they all looked inside the door, and when they saw that the young masters who were usually serious eight hundred were playing like children, they also snickered.

At this time, Ha Deguang accompanied Mrs. Tao over, and when he was still in the courtyard, he heard continuous laughter, and when he saw that the messengers were holding plates and carrying things, they all gathered outside the door and laughed, and they were busy scolding.

When Mrs. Tao came up to take a look, she couldn't help laughing, and when she stood down, she said, "It's still early before it gets dark, young masters, and spare the seventh." ”

Lu Qi reacted the fastest, and the party helped Tao Xiang up, tidied up his clothes for him, and said, "Aunt Tao, is this a speech?" Auntie, then we're going to let go of the trouble at night. ”

Mrs. Tao saw that Tao Xiang's hat was crooked, and the red flower was also slanted, and her face was helpless. She came over and sorted it out for him with her own hands, took a closer look, and smiled.

Lu Qi was more familiar with her, leaned beside her, and said with a shy face: "Is Aunt Tao the most beautiful in her heart today?" Who really can't compare to our seventh brother! ”

Mrs. Tao was told that he was the center, so she couldn't help but turn her head and reach out to poke the corner of his forehead, and said with a smile: "I'll take you little thing!" Why don't you go and stand next to your seventh brother? Let me see...... It's almost time to pass. She carefully brushed the clothes on Tao Xiang's chest.

"Yes, ma'am. The car is ready. The old man is already in the ancestral hall, and the seventh young master has passed at this time, and the time is just right. Hade Guang mentioned it on the side.

"Then go ahead." Mrs. Tao moved the place out of the way and looked at Tao Xiang, she still wanted to give a few words, thinking that Tao Xiang had always been calm, so she should not worry too much. Just smiled and nodded.

Tao Xiang walked out of the door ......-

Cheng Jingyi stuffed the handkerchief onto the jade ring buckle on the cuff, raised her head, and looked at her sister-in-law Suo Yanlin with a makeup face, and said, "Okay." ”

Suo Yanlin was waiting for her to prepare to stop, so that she could be sent out of the door that was temporarily used as a boudoir, and when Jingyi said this calmly, she looked at Jingyi's face, but felt that she didn't want to send her out so soon.

At this time, many young girls gathered here, including the eighth lady of the Tao family, Er Yi, and the eldest lady of the Lu family, Lu Rong. It is rare for so many female relatives to gather in one place, but it is very quiet, as if they are waiting for something, and they have to hold their breath.

Suo Yanlin looked outside and whispered, "I think today's ceremony is cumbersome, but there is no need to panic. Miss Lu is very safe. With her on the side, there will be no mistake. ”

Jingyi nodded.

Yan Lin saw that she was calm and a little relieved. Reaching out and plucking the face-covering beads of the phoenix crown on her head, revealing a full and round forehead, almost pearlescent delicate skin, people can't help but want to rub it...... She really rubbed Jingyi's face.

Jingyi protected her face and looked at her sister-in-law with disgust.

"I know that you have lived in a cave house, you don't have so many scruples, and there are some fierce troubles. At about the end of the night, I told Aunt Tao to let her escort you. Suo Yanlin reassured Jingyi.

Jingyi nodded.

Yan Lin saw that she was a little preoccupied, and saw that there were still a few minutes left, and couldn't help asking: "I see that you have been depressed since yesterday, do you have something on your mind?" Could it be that Zhixi's injury is not good? ”

She counted the time, before Jingyi and Tao Xiang broke up with her yesterday and went to the hospital, Jingyi still talked and laughed.

Jingyi looked at Yanlin and stood up.

It's still quiet outside, and occasionally there's a whisper or two, like a whisper at night.

"Jingyi?" Yan Lin felt more and more that something was wrong, she walked over and pulled Jingyi by the hand.

Jingyi was pulled back by her.

The person stood firm, and the little golden bell was still shaking under the skirt, making a slight sound.

Yan Lin saw Jing Yi's eyes full of tears, and he was stunned for a moment.

As if his heartbeat had almost stopped at this moment, Yan Lin only looked at Jing Yi's eyes and forgot to ask.

Jingyi said: "Third sister-in-law, whether it's right or wrong, I'm already standing here." It's not that you can't turn back...... It's ......"

She inhaled softly.

My chest felt like it was fitted with a blade, and every time I took a breath, it hurt like my heart was tearing.

"Third sister-in-law, Meng Yuan is gone...... I'm sorry for him. Tao Xiang, even if it's because he saved me, I can't be sorry for him anymore. Jing Yi looked at Suo Yanlin in tears and said slowly.

Suo Yanlin only felt frightened, knowing that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of it for a while.

Hearing the knock on the door, Tao Eryi called "Third Sister-in-law" outside and asked if the Seventh Sister-in-law was ready.

Suo Yanlin felt his heart beat faster, and he wondered if the people outside heard it...... "Okay, I'll be here soon!" She raised her voice. Staring at Jing Yi's eyes, she quickly said, "Little Shi, don't think nonsense, what's the matter, the third brother and sister-in-law are still here......"

Jing Yi raised her hand and put down the red hijab.
